Research Assistants

The Liang Laboratory at the Institute of Biological Chemistry, Academia Sinica, investigates the molecular mechanisms that preserve genome integrity during DNA replication and DNA repair. We combine structural biology, biochemistry, cell biology and functional genomics using state-of-the-art experimental approaches to understand how cells respond to replication stress, repair damaged DNA and maintain chromosome integrity. Our goal is to uncover fundamental mechanisms of genome maintenance while identifying new therapeutic opportunities for cancer.
